Chapter 40
Play is like life
A strong wind blew over, dust was flying, and grass leaves and garbage bags rolled up into the air, and everyone turned their heads to prevent the wind and sand from being confused.
In the direction of the wind, two people appeared, one man and one woman, facing the wind, walking hand in hand.
The man was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet, and the woman was wearing a white fur-collared down jacket. The reporters present took photos and gathered around to hold the microphone to ask questions. They remained silent, pushed everyone away, and walked straight into the public security bureau.
The four members of the special case team stood in the reception hall, and they had been waiting for a long time.
The man in a leather jacket said, "I am the one who shoots the murder video uploaded."
The woman in the down jacket said, "I am the woman who was hanged."
The woman in the first murder video is not dead, she is still alive.
The special case team could not find the crime scene, so they rebuilt a similar scene. Through the crime simulation, the special case team had long known that murder was just a scene between the "murderer" and the "victim" director.
The process is as follows:
The woman first took off her top, tied it under both ribs with a rope, reserved a knotted rope cover, then put on a sweater and down jacket, and sat on a chair. The man tied her up and began to record the video that netizens saw. The man wrapped a "fake rope" around the woman's neck. The rope was very short and just around the neck, and it was not connected to the rope hanging on it. It just played a role in confusing others. The rope carrying the force was actually connected to the rope cover hidden under the woman's armpit. After all, a person would not die if he was tied to a circle of rope under the armpits and was hung in the air.
This is a simple magic technique, and it is also very common in movies.
In order to make this fake hanging scene more realistic, her expression was so terrifying and struggling so violently, and her lines were memorized in advance. All of this was the play they performed.
They are not strangers, but lovers.
The man's name is He Yizheng, he is a director, and the woman's name is Shen Cha. They graduated from a film academy in Beijing.
When he was a freshman, He Yizheng was a talented man in the school. He wrote, directed and acted several dramas. When he performed in the school's auditorium, he was almost filled with applause. On the day they met, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. He Yizheng created a three-act stage play, looking for the heroine to play against him. He played the role of a husband and needed a wife. Many female classmates from the performance department came for interviews. Shen Cha was wearing a white-washed strap jeans, canvas shoes, cotton T-shirt, exposed her white arms, tied with ponytails, holding a few books, and wandering in the corridor outside the auditorium.
She was accompanying her friend to apply for a role. He Yizheng accidentally saw her and felt that her image was very consistent with the characters in the play.
He Yizheng said: "This classmate, I ask you to play the heroine and play my wife."
Shen Cha was a little flattered and didn't know what to say. His friend gently pushed her and signaled her to agree quickly.
He Yizheng said: "If you don't answer, you agree. Let's go and rehearse. From now on, I am your husband, you are my wife. We want to integrate into this role and get into the role. You can call me husband first and try it."
Shen Cha shyly lowered his head and said, "I don't..."
They have played couples many times, from the stage of school to the stage of life.
He is the protagonist, she is the supporting role.

Many stills and photos from that time were preserved and stored in a thick album. They could read it casually, and the past was as clear as the sky. The lines on the stage were created by them, and sometimes they would quarrel, such as their views on love.
He said: "Love comes like a butterfly when it comes, and like snow when it goes."
She said: "Love comes like moths when it comes, and goes like fireworks when it goes."
He said: "I can wait, but the rose cannot, so I will thank you, in my hands of sending flowers."
She said: "I can wait, and even roses can. Even if they thank you, they are in my hands of sending flowers."
The quarrel over the script,
The final result of the lyrics is that she compromises and accommodates. Although she plays the protagonist, she is actually more like a supporting role. She believes that the role of wife should be silently committed to compromise.
After graduation, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, He Yizheng kept changing his work locations and followed him.
They joined an advertising media company together. We sometimes saw cosmetic advertisements shot by He Yizheng on TV. The models were beautiful and the skin was tender. He Yizheng liked to shoot the government's image engineering advertisements. The government was generous and rarely bargained, but sometimes made some abnormal requests. For example, the production cost was more than 100,000 yuan, but the invoice was issued millions; for example, letting actors accompany their leaders to drink, etc.
A leader left a deep impression on He Yizheng.
After the filming of the advertisement was finished, the leader was responsible for the review. He sat on the sofa, looked very deep, exhaled a cigarette, stared at a picture in the advertisement, and slowly said: "Can this flower bloom more in a more important way?"
The leader spread his hands, stretched out his palms, and made a gesture of blooming flowers.
He Yizheng repeatedly said yes and said that he would make some changes to ensure that he met the requirements of the leader.
In the end, He Yizheng took the angle of shooting upwards. He knelt on the ground, held the camera, and let the flower stand high. The smog sky was processed into blue sky and white clouds, and accompanied by a loud and loud main melody song, which finally passed the review.
He Yizheng was not willing to say that he was a director. He wanted to make a movie, not an advertisement.
He wanted to take pictures of the dirt road in the countryside, after a heavy rain, the clear water in the ruts, and the black tadpoles swimming forward.
He wanted to film a family of four generations living together, the life of each family member.
He wanted to take a picture of a woman who had a child who died in a car accident in 1989. The vehicle caused by the accident was a heavy tracked car. The driver escaped and has not been arrested yet.
Finally one day, he made up his mind, quit his job, became an independent filmmaker, and started to make a movie.
From purchasing copyrights to modifying scripts and establishing film and television projects, he went through a lot of hardships. During the fundraising stage, he continued to distribute scripts at the film festival and lobby various bosses for investment. During that period, he saw the most bragging people in China, and the film and television industry was mixed with each other. However, bragging is the basic skill of the practitioners in the film and television industry. Although he was so singular, the other party was more able to brag... In short, no one was willing to invest in a new director without works.
The investment of a movie can range from millions to tens of millions or even over 100 million.
He made a decision that he could not turn back and invested in the filming of the movie himself.
Chen Cha has always loved He Yizheng without regrets and fully supported his career. Chen Cha persuaded his parents to use the mortgage loan of 1 million yuan for his house as startup capital. He Yizheng called everyone on his mobile phone to borrow money. In order to solve the problem of funds, he gave up his dignity, had no bottom line, no moral integrity, and everything was just to raise money.
He Yizheng said: "Wife, we have no way out. If we mess up, our house and parents' house will be gone."
Chen Cha said: "I will live anywhere with you. At worst, we can rent a house."
The movie was finally finished, and the subsequent post-production also required a lot of money. He Yizheng dug up various relationships and lied that he had a terminal illness. He borrowed money from relatives, friends, and bigwigs in the film and television industry again, had credit card overdrafts, private usury, and even borrowed money from actors and crew members. Except for Shencha, everyone hated him.
Film and television is a bottomless pit, and the money is still not enough. After the post-production is completed, He Yizheng made a wrong decision to attend the exhibition in overseas film festivals without approval.
He originally wanted to attract overseas funds, but the film was banned and banned!
The blue is bolt from the blue, the mountains collapse and the earth is broken, and countless huge rocks fall from the sky, which makes them unable to turn over forever.
Investments of millions and tens of millions turned into zero overnight, and no one was responsible for their losses.
He Yizheng and Shen Cha are just two ants in the dust. They are all over the place to shoot a movie
Produce.
In order to hide from debt, Chen Cha followed He Yizheng back to his hometown, which was a dilapidated bungalow, which is the location in the murder video.
He Yizheng was seriously ill and bedridden. Chen Cha was the first to cheer up, feed him, wash him, and take good care of him.
He Yizheng looked at the hook on the roof and had the idea of ​​suicide. He said, "I really don't want to live anymore."
Chen Cha said, "Then I will die with you."
Deep in desperate situations, he often bursts with wonderful artistic inspiration. He initially wanted to shoot his suicide process and post it online. A talented director was desperate and eventually hanged in a dilapidated house. The audience should be shocked when they watched it. Based on this idea, he had a bold idea to shoot a banned film and a series of videos of "killing people and throwing corpses".
Of course, the murder is fake, and the abandoned limbs are also the limbs that the patient he bought from the hospital through bribes.
He Yizheng and Shen Cha were excited about their idea. They conceived the script and prepared some tools. He gave up his professional shooting techniques and used an ordinary mobile phone as a camera to shoot five videos, or rather, movies.
The first part is to kill someone, he hangs Shencha in the old house.
In the second part, he put Shen Cha's broken hand into the mineral water bucket and placed the bucket on the water dispenser in the cinema lounge.
In the third part, another broken hand was tied to a street light. The light was on and the shadow of the huge palm was projected on the ground.
In the fourth part, the left leg was thrown behind a large-screen TV in the mall.
In the fifth part, Chen Cha's right leg was glued to the steps of a film and television company.
Hanging is a magic trick. He did not hang her. The silences in the video were also amputations of patients in the hospital. This series of videos caused a huge response on the Internet. Thousands of netizens also participated in this search. It was precisely because of the power of netizens that the corpse was found shortly after the video was released.
Is the theme of this movie horror?
Maybe it is!
Through the identification of the residual limbs, the special case team learned that this was a limb that was intercepted by a special instrument in the hospital. They learned that the limb abandoned by the murderer did not belong to the deceased in the murder video. The subsequent criminal simulation confirmed that the murderer did not kill, but created the illusion of murder. The four places of the body dumping were all related to film and television. The special case team reasoned and analyzed that the identity of the person who shot the video was probably a film and television practitioner. After investigating the banned videos in recent years, the suspects may be found from the list.
The special case team knew that the murderer did not kill, and the motivation for shooting the video might be to become famous and to attract audiences.
The special case team released the news through the media that the murderer would surrender, and did so to give him a chance to reduce his sentence.
There will always be an ending in the movie. He Yizheng and Shen Cha choose to surrender themselves is the best ending and the only ending.
Although He Yizheng did not kill people, he also violated the crime of "theft, insulting corpses" and "making up and deliberately spreading false and terrorist information". The social impact is bad, and multiple crimes are punished. It is estimated that he will stay in prison for a few years. It is the wisest choice to surrender and strive for leniency.
Su Mei said: "There are many lawyers on the Internet that form a strong lawyer group and are willing to defend you for your innocence free of charge."
Hualong said: "This may be good news for you. You are now famous and have achieved your goal."
Bao Zhan said: "I am really interested in the movie you filmed. If it is screened in the cinema, I will buy tickets to watch it."
Professor Liang said: "You two young people have a long way to go in the future. Do you have anything to say?"
He Yizheng said: "Oh, you have been wronged and burdened for so many years."
Shen Cha said: "Don't talk about going to prison, even going to hell, I will go with you, and I will not leave you."
He Yizheng said: "Although this place and this time, it is not appropriate to say this... would you marry me?"
Shen Cha said: "I do."
